Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from “2024–25” to “2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

Gosh, how do we get the Salvadorans to release Kilman Abrego Garcia?!? Um, here's an idea - STOP PAYING THE SALVADORANS. It costs them money to detain him. Turn off the money, and they won't detain him anymore. Anything else from the Trump administration is a total LIE.

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

The Ice Man Cometh Trump's Gestapo is here. It operates throughout the country. It can suddenly arrest anyone, with no crime alleged, and deport them for permanent imprisonment overseas. Will anyone stop this? open.substack.com/pub/tristans...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%. Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

How is Trump's call to investigation Chris Krebs more authoritarian than his case--INCLUDING ON UKRAINE--to fabricate false claims against Hunter and Joe Biden? How is it more authoritarian than criminalizing being the victim of RU disinformation in the dossier?

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

The DNC was like the beginning of a disaster movie: SO many brilliant women warned everybody what's to come. Now we're in the middle of the f-ing movie... somewhere between Jurassic Park, The Day After Tomorrow, & Schindler's List. & ALL Americans had to do to prevent this... was trust women. 👇🏼

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

There is now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has deported the wrong person due to “administrative error.” This is a massive violation of people’s rights and due process. Must be fixed.

Breaking: Mike Waltz the gift that keeps giving—or for Trump, the nightmare that won't end. My sources say Trump is fuming: first Waltz's ties to Goldberg, now WaPo's bombshell on Waltz using personal email for sensitive government dealings. Waltz will be looking for a new job soon.
